  1. These schools must have used all their storm days by now. Looks like thy will be making up quite FEW IN jUNE

  2. No school days are in the calender, each snow day is made up in June….as has been the case for many years now. If only we had a really big dome!

  3. My kids don’t have problems with snow days and neither do I. They have to get up so early in the morning five days a week, by Friday night they crash by 8. Snow days in the middle of the week give them a day to catch up. Plus, I think summer vacation is long enough. It’s been proven kids learn better when given short vacations all throughout the year rather than all at once in the summer.

  4. I agree with RSU9 Parent. I think schools need to reconsider how their calendars and schedules are laid out. I think a lot can be done to improve test scores and attitudes within the school. Some of those being delaying the start time and trimming summer vacation to give more week long vacations throughout the year.

  5. Kudos to RSU9 parent. I remember getting up at 5:30 to catch a shower and the bus by 7. They could all use a day off during the week

  6. I remember the days of getting up at 5am and walk a quarter of a mile no matter what the weather and stand out in the cold sometimes 40 Below and wait for the bus. Made no difference what the weather was and we had a week off in February,one in April and two weeks at Christmas. Had two days for Thanksgiving,and one for Lincol
    Washington birthdays and Columbus day off otherwise we went to school. We learned the hard way no calculators or computers. Had to use our brain to learn. kids have to many days off and things are made to easy in this day and age.Went to school in West New Portland where they heated the two room school with wood the boys lugged in the wood for the lower grades and upper grades,we cooked our own hot lunches with help from the upper grade teacher. We had an outhouse for the girls and one for the boys. The good old days long gone

  7. ah yes, i too miss the good old days, marge. when 66 percent of rural students did not graduate from high school, teachers were allowed to beat the students, and most u.s. schools were segregated. we didn’t mess around with garbage like art, music, and foreign languages, none of this evolution or climate change bunk was taught, and children with “special” needs just had to stay home so as not to bother the rest of us. yes indeed, i despair at the state of modern education.

    now, can anybody help me figure out this darn computer business?

  8. a quarter mile is a stroll in any weather short of fire and brimstone. most rural schools have students coming from an average of around 10 miles away. i wonder if marge has ever driven a school bus after two feet of snowfall?
